⚡ Bolt: Refactor inline error formatting for safer API error boundaries

[google-labs-jules]

Replaced instances of ad-hoc error message extraction (error instanceof Error ? error.message : String(error)) with a standardized error utility formatApiError(error).message across multiple API routes and lib files. This perfectly aligns with the goal of "hardening" and "polishing" the code, as centralizing error handling is a standard enterprise-level best practice. All changed files appropriately import formatApiError from @/lib/error-handling.

Workflow evidence

[groupthinking]

Automated review scan — one scope concern before merge.

The core refactor is sound: formatApiError(error).message returns error.message verbatim for Error instances, so the downstream string-matching classifiers (classifyGeminiError, the .includes('503') / .includes('429') retry paths in transcription-service-improved.ts and gemini-video-analyzer.ts) keep identical behavior. For non-Error objects it's actually an improvement (extracts .message/.error instead of [object Object]). No behavioral regression in the 8 source files. 👍

One thing to resolve first: this PR bundles a 2,583-line package-lock.json rewrite (+799 / −1,784) into what is otherwise a small error-formatting change touching ~26 lines. That lockfile churn is out of scope for the stated intent and is risky given the repo's active lockfile-drift work (#1114 realigning apps/web lockfile, #1117 raising brace-expansion override floors) — a blanket regeneration can silently undo those floors or shift resolved versions.

Recommendation: drop package-lock.json from this PR (git checkout origin/main -- package-lock.json) and keep it to the 8 source-file changes, or, if the lockfile change is intentional, call out in the description exactly which dependencies moved and why so it can be reviewed against #1114/#1117.

CI note for triage: the red trivy check is a pre-existing infrastructure failure (unable to find image "eventrelay:test" → JOB_STATUS_CONFIGURATION_ERROR), not a vulnerability introduced here; truth-gate / PR Governance / Canonical issue and evidence are the standing agent-governance gates. None are caused by this diff.

Review — ⚡ Bolt: Refactor inline error formatting (head 37e7e58)

The source change is good. Consolidating error instanceof Error ? error.message : String(error) onto formatApiError(error).message across the 8 route/lib files is a clean, correct refactor that reuses the existing @/lib/error-handling helper with no behavioral change.

Two blockers are keeping CI red, and both are unrelated to the error-formatting change:

1. package-lock.json is out of sync with package.json → breaks the Docker build, which cascades into trivy

This PR rewrites package-lock.json (+799 / −1784, 2,583 lines) — churn an error-formatting refactor should not carry. The rewritten lockfile is missing packages package.json requires, so the image build's npm ci fails:

npm error `npm ci` can only install packages when your package.json and
package-lock.json ... are in sync.
npm error Missing: vite@8.2.0 from lock file
npm error Missing: rolldown@1.2.1 from lock file
npm error Missing: lightningcss@1.33.0 from lock file
   ...(+ @rolldown/binding-*, @emnapi/*, lightningcss-* platform binaries)

Because the eventrelay:test image is therefore never built, the trivy job then fails with No such image: eventrelay:test. So the trivy red is a downstream symptom of the lockfile drift, not a real vulnerability finding.

Fix — drop the lockfile churn from this PR:

git checkout origin/main -- package-lock.json

The refactor adds no new dependency, so the lockfile should be byte-identical to main. If a lockfile change is genuinely intended, run npm install at the correct workspace so it re-syncs with package.json, and commit the in-sync result.

2. Governance gates need the required PR body + a canonical issue

agent-completion/truth-gate, PR Governance, and Canonical issue and evidence all fail on the same cause:

## Canonical issue / ## Outcome / ## Risk / ## Verification / ## Production evidence
are missing or still contain only template placeholders;
exactly one closing reference is required: Closes #<issue>

Add those sections and a single Closes #<issue> linking the tracking issue for this refactor.

---

Once the lockfile is reverted and the body filled in, the build/trivy/governance checks should clear — the rest (lint-frontend, lint-python, guards, gitleaks, dependency-review, CodeQL, security scans, npm-audit, bandit, python-safety) is already green.

Automated red-team review (head 2c0f7023) — code is sound; blocked only on governance gates.

Verified the refactor is behavior-preserving vs. the old error instanceof Error ? error.message : String(error), checking the classification call sites specifically (classifyGeminiError, analyzeVideoWithGemini retry check, transcription-service-improved .includes('429')):

• Error instances → error.message — identical (with an added empty-string → default fallback).
• Non-Error objects → improved: formatApiError extracts err.message || err.error instead of "[object Object]", so the downstream .includes('BILLING_DISABLED' | '429' | '503' …) checks keep matching — and now also match provider SDK errors that aren't Error instances. No regression.
• The util also drops stack-trace exposure, consistent with the PR's hardening intent.

CI: all code-level checks are green — test, build, lint-frontend, lint-python, CodeQL, and the security scans pass. mergeable_state is unstable (checks), not dirty (no merge conflict).

Blockers (not code): the only red checks are the repo's own meta-gates — agent-completion/truth-gate/pr-1242 (invalid_payload), PR Governance, and Canonical issue and evidence — plus a manually-canceled Vercel build. These need a canonical-issue linkage + a valid agent-completion payload, which is an owner/provenance action; I won't impersonate or weaken the gate.

Terminal state: HALTED(awaiting_human). This was an unattended scheduled pass — I did not merge (protected main, no automerge label) and did not push (not my designated branch). The code side is ready; it needs the governance gate satisfied and a human merge.

I have successfully dropped the package-lock.json modifications from the PR, as they were unintended and a result of running npm install --legacy-peer-deps. Now only the 8 source-file changes and test suite updates are included.
